Payments
How people in Austria pay online.
EPS is Austria’s own online banking payment: every Austrian bank supports it, and customers approve the payment in their banking app. Paying after delivery by invoice is popular, and Klarna covers it. PayPal is widely used in Austria too, but it isn’t available through Cornerrr’s checkout today, so EPS, Klarna, cards with Apple Pay and Google Pay, and SEPA Direct Debit are the ones to offer.
Before you start
Selling online in Austria: what to know.
Impressum and media disclosure
Austrian websites need an Impressum under the E-Commerce-Gesetz (ECG): name, address, contact details including email, register number and court, VAT ID, and where relevant your supervisory authority, your chamber (such as the WKO) and trade rules. The Media Act (§ 25 MedienG) adds a short disclosure. The WKO publishes guidance.
Kleinunternehmer up to €55,000
With turnover up to €55,000 a year (gross), you can be a Kleinunternehmer and charge no USt; going up to 10% over in one year is tolerated. Otherwise standard USt is 20%, with reduced rates for food, books and more.
Widerrufsrecht under the FAGG
The FAGG gives consumers 14 days from delivery to withdraw, and you refund within 14 days. Put the withdrawal instructions and the model form in your terms. EU rules in force from 19 June 2026 add an online withdrawal function; Cornerrr adds one to your store’s footer (“Vertrag widerrufen” on a store in German) and emails the customer an acknowledgement of receipt; mention it in your withdrawal instructions.
A trade license
Selling goods online is usually a trade (Gewerbe) in Austria, so register it before you start, through your district authority or online. The WKO’s Gründerservice helps with the steps.
Prices with USt and delivery costs
Show consumer prices including USt and say what delivery costs before checkout. Stripe Tax’s automatic setting treats euro prices as including tax, so the price on the product page is the one customers pay.
Privacy and the Datenschutzbehörde
GDPR applies, overseen by the Datenschutzbehörde. Publish a Datenschutzerklärung naming the services you use, such as Stripe, and keep forms short. Cornerrr’s AI drafts one for you to check.
General information, current as of October 2026, not legal or tax advice. Rules and rates change, so check them with an accountant or adviser, or the official sources, before you rely on them.
Cornerrr
Built for businesses in Austria
Prices in euros
Set your store’s currency to EUR and your products, shipping rates and checkout use it. Cornerrr works with about 140 currencies, one per web address.
VAT at checkout
Turn on Stripe Tax in your Stripe account and Cornerrr asks it to work out VAT for each order at checkout, on any paid plan. You can collect business customers’ VAT numbers too.
Your words in German
Describe your business in German and Cornerrr writes your pages in German. Stripe Checkout shows in German too. A few built-in cart and account labels are still in English today.
Local ways to pay
Checkout is Stripe’s own, so the local payment methods you turn on in Stripe show up for the customers who can use them, next to cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Local tips
Make it feel local
Use Austrian words
Austrian customers notice German-German. Ask the assistant to write Jänner instead of Januar, and to use Austrian food words such as Topfen or Marille where they fit your products.
Ship with Österreichische Post
Österreichische Post delivers most small parcels, with DPD and GLS as alternatives, and many people pick parcels up from a post office, a Post partner or a parcel station. Say which carrier you use and your dispatch days.
Show that you’re Austrian
Many Austrians shop at large German websites. An Austrian address, a .at domain and delivery times within Austria remind customers why your shop is worth choosing.
Explain the payment choices
Many Austrians look for PayPal, which isn’t offered at checkout, so say on your payment page that they can pay with EPS straight from their bank or later with Klarna.

Questions
Good to know
Can my website be in Austrian German?
Yes. Describe your business in German, Austrian style if you like, and Cornerrr writes every page in German; Stripe’s checkout page is in German too. A handful of built-in cart and account labels are still in English today, and you can rename the add-to-cart and checkout buttons.
Can customers pay with EPS?
Yes, for one-time orders. Turn on EPS in your Stripe Dashboard and it appears at checkout for euro payments; customers pick their bank and approve the payment there.
Is an Austrian Impressum the same as a German one?
No. Much of it overlaps (name, address, contact, register), but Austria has its own laws, the ECG, the Media Act and the Commercial Code, and asks for details such as your chamber membership. Don’t copy a German template unchanged.
Do I charge Austrian USt to customers in Germany?
Yes, until your sales to consumers in other EU countries pass €10,000 a year in total. Above that you charge German VAT (19%) to German customers, and the One-Stop Shop lets you declare it in your Austrian return.
Do I need any technical skills?
No. You describe your business in your own words and Cornerrr builds the website. Afterwards you change things by clicking, or by asking the assistant in plain words.
How much does it cost?
Building and previewing your website is free, with no card needed. To go live and take payments, choose a plan from $19 a month. Every paid plan starts with a 14-day free trial; a card is needed to start it.
